U-tube? Don't really know. I'm imagining iPlayer only has the last episode on there. As if you haven't been watching....anyone would think you have a little baby/family/puppy/house having building work on it...or something!

Hee hee.

I am going to find out which channel it's on.

We saddos are watching series 4 at the moment.

Been out to go to pizza express and buy floor tiles. Forgot vouchers and then pizza express was full.

Not a success. Did pick up tiles and grout for builder and paint for other builder. Also got cash and DDs school shoes.

Don't get me started on Clarks, but there is a gap in the market for someone who can provide properly fitted school shoes with decent service.

We have a doorway to the shower room and the internal window is in.

Made £6.50 on surveys this week, but just did the sums and things are tiiiiigggghhht until I go back to work now.

AF order done as free delivery if you order today.

Hope everyone's results were good. I saw most of my outgoing Y11s, they aced core science and did pretty well on additional. Science did brilliantly, and so did the school overall.

I think they liked their presents??

Work goes on apace here, M and S dine-in .

Day without the DDs, bought kitchen floor tiles, very attracted by glass mosaic tiles for behind aga. Puppy enjoyed ride in the car.

Shower room has a floor. Got some photos framed, frames were cheap looking and dreadful, so I'm getting my money back.

Had to light the fire - it's so cold and dank, happy bank holiday!!

Is this the new one? Are you sure you didn't just want to?

gratefulforhelp_2

LOL, no only the old one.

Had rough quotes for the kitchen we have planned and comes to 20k +.

Oh well, back to the drawing board!!

Ow! Does the quote include installation and appliances?
At our last house we tried to save money by switching to cheaper appliances that did not look as good, in the end we would have only saved £50 so we switched back.
Are you going for a traditional or modern kitchen?

gratefulforhelp_2

It's very traditional, painted wood and made to fit. The only appliances are a dishwasher (included) and fridge-freezer (not included).

Been to pizza express for lunch with vouchers, Baby has discovered he can wave, and so waved extensively through lunch.
